Astonishing the Audience

Lu Wangchuan responded calmly.

"I can't be as shameless as you."

Yun Mengyao wasn't angry. Getting angry at someone who was about to die wasn't worth it.

She shook her head.

"Do you have any last words?"

"I'll return that sentence to you, word for word."

Lu Wangchuan's indifferent response caused a huge uproar among the countless people below the arena.

"This kid is too arrogant, isn't he? He doesn't put Yun Mengyao in his eyes at all?"

"Could it be that he has already successfully stepped into the Condensing Truth Realm?"

"Holy crap, how is that possible? He seems to have just turned nineteen this year? Even the sect's strongest genius, the heir Zhao Yanlong, only broke through to the Condensing Truth Realm at the age of twenty!"

"But if he hasn't broken through to the Condensing Truth Realm, how would he dare to rush onto the arena?"

The people below weren't fools and had already vaguely guessed what was happening.

Li Tianxiang clenched his fists when he heard this.

"He's actually more of a genius than my Mengyao!"

This was something he couldn't tolerate. To him, Yun Mengyao was like a goddess.

Zhao Yanlong was a threshold that no one could surpass, and he couldn't change that. But even Lu Wangchuan surpassing Yun Mengyao ignited a strong sense of resentment in his heart.

It was as if his most cherished possession was inferior to someone else's.

The Second Elder gently patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"No need to be overly agitated. This kid might have broken through to the Condensing Truth Realm, but it's impossible for him to cultivate to the Condensing Truth Realm Late Stage! There's a world of difference between the early and late stages of the Condensing Truth Realm.

As long as Mengyao kills him, we'll have no worries."

"Grandpa is right, but Cheng Yunxiao will definitely not let Mengyao kill her."

"The fact that you can think of this shows you've matured. But don't forget, you still have me, your grandpa. No one is allowed to disrupt the Sect Grand Ceremony. If he tries to interfere, I will stop him immediately and give Mengyao enough time to kill Lu Wangchuan!"

"Okay!"

Li Tianxiang clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with excitement.

So what if he was a genius?

As long as he was dead, no matter how much of a genius he was, he would just be a pile of yellow earth.

By then, the most dazzling second person in this sect, and the most dazzling woman, would still be the goddess in his heart.

On the stage, Yun Mengyao smiled indifferently.

"Ignorance is bliss. Considering the relationship between us as disciples of the same master, I will use my strongest ultimate technique to send you on your way."

She was going to use her Forbidden Technique because she was intelligent and had guessed that Cheng Yunxiao below the stage might interfere.

Within the same lineage, every elder is protective, especially of their own.

A genius like Lu Wangchuan was worth Cheng Yunxiao, an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, personally breaking sect rules to save.

Therefore, she had to deliver a fatal blow to Lu Wangchuan, giving him no chance.

Spiritual energy erupted, and a phoenix cry echoed from within Yun Mengyao.

The air seemed to gain a pressure at this moment, causing the hearts of the disciples still in the Physical Body Realm to race, their entire bodies feeling as if they couldn't exert any strength.

"It's the Phoenix Cry Art! The Forbidden Technique she cultivates is actually the Phoenix Cry Art."

"Legend says the Phoenix Cry Art was created by a powerful being in ancient times. When used, it can unleash the majesty of a phoenix, having a natural suppressive effect on humans."

"The Phoenix Cry Art is among the top ten Forbidden Techniques in the sect, and judging by the power she's emitting, she's probably cultivated it to at least the sixth layer!"

"Too terrifying. Yun Mengyao's talent is indeed monstrous. This time, that Lu Wangchuan is probably dead for sure."

The Second Elder's eyes revealed a look of admiration. First, he admired Yun Mengyao's talent, and second, he admired her character. She had likely guessed that Cheng Yunxiao would intervene, so she prepared to use her strongest power from the start to kill Lu Wangchuan.

What a tactic!

What courage!

A woman like this, with both brains and talent, would be a great help to his grandson in the future if she could become his granddaughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, he also began circulating the spiritual energy within his body, ready to intervene at any moment to stop Cheng Yunxiao from saving him.

Lu Wangchuan was certain to die today!

Finally, accompanied by an earth-shattering phoenix cry, Yun Mengyao made her move.

At this moment, a golden phoenix phantom seemed to appear behind her, and her speed also increased to its maximum, even surpassing the limit observable by the naked eye of ordinary people.

Below the Dantian Realm within the Physical Body Realm, not even afterimages could be seen.

"So fast!"

This thought flashed through everyone's minds. In their view, Lu Wangchuan was almost certainly doomed this time.

However, no one expected that just as Yun Mengyao arrived in front of Lu Wangchuan, he suddenly attacked.

Behind him, a giant elephant phantom and a divine dragon phantom suddenly appeared.

A high-pitched dragon roar and elephant trumpeting erupted, as if shaking the clouds in the sky.

Lu Wangchuan met Yun Mengyao head-on with a smash.

Boom—!

Only an earth-shattering explosion was heard, mixed with a faint phoenix wail, and the ground began to tremble violently.

Dust and smoke rose everywhere, and the shockwave quickly swept out, blowing away many disciples with lower cultivation levels.

"Wah—!"

The entire tremor lasted for a long, long time before slowly beginning to subside.

Until the dust and smoke dispersed, everyone quickly widened their eyes to look.

"What happened?"

But when they saw Yun Mengyao lying on the ground, a large hole in her chest, barely breathing, their pupils constricted in shock. A chill ran down their spines, and their bodies began to tremble.

Yun Mengyao was defeated!

"Wh-what's going on?"

"How is this possible?"

"Impossible, I don't believe it!"

They had guessed that this battle would end in seconds, because everyone knew it was an unequal match.

But their predicted outcome was completely reversed. They had thought Lu Wangchuan would be killed, but instead, Yun Mengyao was killed!

And it was a one-hit kill!

You have to understand, that was Yun Mengyao!

The second-ranked genius in the entire sect, Yun Mengyao, who had already stepped into the Condensing Truth Realm Late Stage, was actually killed in seconds. Who would believe it if this spread?

This simply overturned their worldview!

The Second Elder stood rooted to the spot, even forgetting what he was supposed to do.

He had originally prepared to guard against Cheng Yunxiao, but Cheng Yunxiao didn't make a move at all. Or to put it more bluntly, he didn't need to make a move, because Lu Wangchuan had already surpassed Yun Mengyao. Not only would he not lose, but he would win!

Looking at the young man standing on the arena, he felt a tremor. At this moment, he even felt a trace of fear.

He had a feeling that this young man's future would definitely be extraordinary.

He even began to regret supporting Yun Mengyao in opposing Lu Wangchuan.

This kind of fear, no one in the entire sect had ever given him, not even the sect's top-ranked heir, Zhao Yanlong. He had never been this afraid.
